What's the worst that could happen if you use generic PSU?

ok raman ang generic basta sakto sa aircon lang.. or cooling fan.

not exactly brad, managing the heat alone won't solve the voltage fluctuations and drops. if you monitor your voltages, you will notice serious over and under supply of your components which definitely kills them in the long run. The downside of Generic PSU's are clearly seen in high end parts such as GPU's and Processors. In my experience, playing games at high graphics with generic psu's causes sudden blackouts and eventually, the OS restarts with no apparent reason. So, if you simply do word processing, surf, and listen to music, you won't need the Branded PSU immediately, but, it still isn't good for your PC overall. I ran a Cafe once, i noticed i could have cut down on expenses more if i bought Branded PSU's for all my PC's in the first place. Instead, i had to replace them almost every few months since they died out a lot. Cheers!

im using a Dynamo Pro 600W , so far ok raman ,
8600 GT ako vid card , w/2 HDD , 2 Optical Drives , dual channel ddr2-800 rams , e6550 proc overclock to 2.7GHz( default is 2.33 GHz) then 4 additional fans aside from HSF (coolermaster eclipse) wala man nihagtos ...
timing - timing ra cguro , anyway if naa jud enough budget go for branded ones , but if wala go for generics na mahalon , hehehe
remember lang not to overload the PSU ,,,

anyway if muhagtos jud ang generic PSU , u have no choice but to buy another one ...

ok ra man na imo setup bro. lowend ra man sab na imo videocard so di na dako og kaon. makaya ra na sa dynamo pro.

i totally agree. mas makasave ka sa branded PSU in the long run. mas makasave pa jud ka kung high efficiency and with active PFC imo psu kay gamay ra ang usik na koryente ani.

Aw dli lang mag kumpyansa.

Kung maguba mo post ra bitaw sa istorya "My PSU broke my system".

imung ki overclock imung system.?

BTW: dynamo 600W pro users sad ko.... but i dont overclock


faet kaayu if mag overclock ka ug generic cpus kay wala ni silay special feature nga mu endure ug grabe nga SUYOP sa power.

sa akoang opinion... OK raman ang generic na PSU "IF" imohang surroundings kay dili sad murag imperno... lets face the fact na mas dali jd maguba ang generic kaysa branded kung imo silang ipa stress test... peru if naa sa saktong lugar imong generic PSU na wala na stressed ug maau nya wala sad nmu gipakarga ug bug-at kaau... mu lungtad jd na ug dugay...

peru kung naa kay kwarta ad2 nlng sa branded para xur jd ba... peru grabe na sad tawn na ang tag 6k na PSU oi.. mka palit nman ka ana ug brand new core 2 duo processor oi... makalipong manang presyuha.... bsta mu palit gani ka ug PSU.. kinahanglan balance ang PRICE n QUALITY....

[Fern]

i gree with the price and quality thing...

so buy Dynamo 600w Pro ...... just dont overclock ^_^ and keep the powe consumption at 450w

maypa palit mo og powersupply sa cdrking kaysa palit mo anang dynamo kay mas nindot og hitsura unya autovolt pa gyud. pwerti ka daghan sa akong bad expierence anang dynamo powersupply, mas mo prefer pa gud ko og kanang pakapin sa casing nga dili dynamo.
